The dredging bids for the Christopher, Knox and Bay Harbor canals dredge project recently came in. Those bids came in well over budget, in fact doubling in cost for the second time in two years. Both project management and the MSBU Advisory Board have met and decided to cancel the current project, due to excessive dredging costs. We have agreed delay dredging for a period of time and watch the market pricing, while planning a larger project that should get better bid cost per unit. Project management will continue to monitor the market at the same time work on new bid tactics to obtain the most competitive pricing. The project is now in close out phase.
